which is considered as dependent on the variable on x axis which is considered as independent variable in the plotting of graph
The Independent variable is placed on the x-axis and the dependent variable is placed on the y- axis
If you are graphing the results of an experiment, the dependent variable is on the vertical, or y-axis, and the independent variable is on the horizontal axis, or x-axis.
That depends a lot on what the graph is illustrating. However, generally, the depended variable will be on the x-axis (the horizontal axis).
On a distance vs. time graph, time is usually the independent variable presented on the X axis in the Cartesian Coordinate System. The dependent variable would be distance, and would be presented on the Y axis.
